Kotaku.com have recently interview Matt Tieger of High Moon Studios who is the lead designer on the upcoming Transformers: War For Cybertron video game.  The interview was primarily based on whether the multi-player mode would enable players to combine into Devastator.  The answer was no, \"The guy who is the kneecap, what does he do?\" Matt replied when asked the question.  Kotaku.com was also told that they would \"only include robots that turn into a vehicle\", which isn\'t really surprising.

In an interview with MTV\'s Brian Warmoth Hasbro\'s CEO Brian Goldner told MTV News \"You’re going to see that great core mythology brought to the fore, and Michael is hard at work at making this a reality and we’re very excited about it ... I mean, I think it’s a great time to put it out in 2011 and we’re very excited about the movie.\".  Brian also confirmed that Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox will both return for the third movie before going on to state that \"What we’re really doing is getting back to some of the core character development and storytelling. And I think there’s some elements of the core story that the filmmakers, Michael in particular wanted to tell, ... He’s really well-versed in the Transformers lore. So I think you’ll see, you know, less bedlam, more characters.\"
